CJ - Roots II (The Result)

In most cases, it's not advisable to experience a sequel first; lacking any background knowledge or connection to the characters, you're likely to be confused, bored or both. CJ's debut feature, Roots II (The Result), is an exception. Part of his next street album, this cut is the perfect introduction to the HBK Gang affiliate. Over SB Focus's hazy flip of Ronnie Laws's Tidal Wave, Clarence J fills us in on the activities of his typical day, from quarrels with his girl to blunt sessions with Mike Watts. The West Coast buzzmaker's Peace and Love LP is currently unscheduled, but fans can, of course, keep it locked for the latest news and tunes.
